Neopopstreetfunk is pleased to announce Neopopstreetfunk 5, a group exhibition of original paintings and mixed media showing at Gallery M Squared in The Houston Heights.

Five years in, the Best of Houston award-winning pop and street art event continues its tradition of showcasing Low Brow and Avant Garde art from the Houston underground and beyond. Curators Nicky Davis and Kevin Sechelski have consistently managed to raise the bar in the Houston art scene with their iconoclastic, irreverent annual offerings, and this year is no different. With 22 artists contributing pieces ranging in style from gritty guerilla street art to pop surrealist dreamscapes, Neopopstreetfunk 5 is a guaranteed night of stunning imagery, good music and fun people.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with translating my more recent “painterly” style into my work with screen printing and spray paint. The ink can is one of my longest running images so I figured I’d try to give it a new spin. Let me know what you think. I always appreciate the feedback.

My favorite part of what I do is when those unique opportunities arise that allow me to contribute to a really awesome cause. This was precisely one of those situations

Brainchild of Rice University assistant professor Christopher Sperandio, ‘Cargo Space,’ is a retired university transit bus that he and his team are converting into a mobile studio and living quarters for travelling and visiting artists. The bus will be completely stripped down and rebuilt using eco-friendly materials, complete with a kitchen, dining area, and deck, ultimately capable of sleeping six people.

Thanks to Christopher Sperandio and the folks at the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, my friend and fellow Houston artist Daniel Anguilo and I had the opportunity to contribue some color to this project. I’m stoked to see how it turns out. Make sure to check out the Cargo Space blog to follow its progress.
